The X-Ripper is available as single individual units or as a compact
combination of a rotary lobe pump and shredder (see Combi).

X-Ripper - the ultimate ripper

The X-Ripper perfect wherever solids are to be shredded. Its robust
design using the proven double-shaft system allows economical shredding
of large amounts of solids in liquid media. This is how the compact
X-Ripper protects your pipe systems avoiding cost-intensive repair work
that damage can lead to.

Areas of application

Recycling plants

Wastewater disposal

Sewage treatment facilities

Bio-waste processing

Foods waste processing

Slaughter houses

Food industry

Chemical industry

Biogas plants

Agriculture, etc.

Design

Based on the proven components of the Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps, the
cutting teeth are made of specialised steel which are counter-rotating.
They are mounted on shafts which are not in contact with the medium. The
QD design is supported on both sides, assures high performance and
allows service and maintenance within the shortest time, on site and
without the removal of the X-Ripper. That means long operating times
with minimal downtimes.

Function

Through the different rotary speeds of the cutting wheels, the X-Ripper
rips apart materials with long fibres. The sharp points and edges cut
the solid materials while coarse and brittle pieces are grounded between
the cutting wheels. The cutting grade is adjusted by changing the
geometries of the cutting wheel.

X-Ripper Combi - a real alternative

A real alternative to conventional systems: the combination of the
X-Ripper and the proven Vogelsang rotary lobe pump. As both are based on
the same technology, we are able to unite both functions in a compact
unit comprising pump and double-shaft shredder. Thanks to our Marathon
technology and the QD cover, it is possible to service, maintain and
exchange spare parts on-site without removing the X-Ripper or the pump.
